Chapter 1132: trillions of net worth
Chapter 1,132 Trillion Net Worth
On February 6, 2004, the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival had just passed, and the trial of "Baidu Earth" infringement of "Google Earth", which had attracted much attention from the global IT community, opened as scheduled. And because "Google" is now in the United States
The rise of the case and Lin Feng's high-profile declaration of war have made this already high-profile case even more concerning.
Focus! This is indeed a battle for focus, which may change the development of the Internet industry in the future! If "Google" wins, it will continue to consolidate the absolute market position of "Google" in the search engine industry, and will be the strongest in history.
The opponent who challenged him was defeated, which is enough to deter any other competitors who want to challenge the authority of "Google". After all, "Baidu Portal" is now the third largest search engine company in the world (tied with "MSN" of "Microsoft").
Behind this is Lin Feng, the young richest man in the world who has repeatedly created a new world. The significance of "Google" defeating "Baidu Portal" is profound. Especially for the American media and those Lin Feng's competitors, once Lin Feng this time
Failure always creates miracles, and the "miracle" of repeated victory in the business will be shattered.
You must know that along the way, Lin Feng's rise has been too fast, too fast, and his development has been too smooth. In the eyes of Westerners, it seems that God is on Lin Feng's side, which has invisibly caused the hearts of many of Lin Feng's competitors.
He has been put under a heavy yoke. You must know that facing an opponent with even God on his side, no one will feel uneasy. If Lin Feng fails this time, once this "God halo" is shattered, perhaps Lin Feng will
Ushering in one wave of "offensives".
And if "Baidu Portal" wins and seizes the global search engine market, then Lin Feng's "God halo" will be even more dazzling, his shopping mall myth will be continued, and the power of the "Second Consortium" will be even more expanded. I am afraid that in the future
The global Internet world will become Lin Feng's world. Of course, the most important thing is that the pressure on Lin Feng's competitors is even greater. After all, in the search engine market, even the super local snake "Google" has arrived
If they can't hold back Lin Feng's tentacles, can others still compete with Lin Feng? If Lin Feng extends his tentacles to other areas in the future, how should they respond?
Naturally, for such a high-profile dispute, the number of spectators who came to court that day not only set a record for a court hearing in California, but filled the entire courtroom to capacity, and even temporarily added many seats.
Without exception, those present were all giants in the business world. Looking around, Steve Jobs of Apple, Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, Jerry Yang of Yahoo, and IBM Vice President Genie
-Romanti, "ea" president Peter Moore...etc., they are all here. This is why the court temporarily increased the number of spectator seats. They are all giants, and the court has to give them face.
They have only one purpose here, and they want to witness with their own eyes this power struggle in the IT network industry. No matter which side wins, it will change the development of the network industry and also affect the future plans of their companies. Of course, many giants
In Qing's heart, for the final winner of this focus battle, they each have their own minds, with different interests and not many supporters. However, most people have the same point of view. It is best to lose both sides! Only when both sides suffer, some companies can
Get the most benefit!
Monopoly is good! But it is not good if the monopoly is not your own company, but other companies. Then it is better to compete among the heroes to see who can dominate the world in the end!
"Dear American viewers, today's case of 'Google' suing China's 'Baidu Portal' for infringement of its subsidiary 'Baidu Earth' will be held for the first time. And in this trial, many company presidents are present.
, it can be described as a grand event in the American IT industry!" The location host of the American ABC TV station stood outside the California Supreme Court and excitedly shouted to the camera to report to all American viewers.
Seeing the figures of business giants appearing on TV, the whole United States is boiling. You know, if these giants here today unite to reach an agreement or launch a certain plan, it will definitely change the future of the entire human race.
.And some media also calculated the net worth of the spectators present today as quickly as possible - US$140 billion! This has exceeded the GDP of many developed countries. According to the just-announced 2003 global GDP index, today
The combined net worth of the many giants present at the court is enough to rank 10th in the world, exceeding the GPD index of most countries!
Horrible! This net worth is absolutely terrifying!
At this moment, a certain Arab country is also watching this broadcast.
"Damn it, if a bomb could be planted here, the U.S. economy would be over!" a bearded Arab said hatefully.
"We can let it go next time! Such a trial cannot end quickly!" another man said.
"Forget it, we won't have a chance. Didn't you see so many policemen around? There are so many business giants here this time, how could they not search them thoroughly? If we want to plant a bomb, we will definitely be discovered
. Then the target will be exposed!" The bearded Arab shook his head bitterly.
Although he is extremely crazy, he will never give up and do the impossible. Maybe he can get a plane to hit the court, but after "9.11", it is no longer so easy to "get" a plane.
Alas, if I had known that I would not have launched the "9.11" attack, how much better it would be today! - For the first time, this Arab man who planned "9.11" thought that "9.11" was wrong. Although this starting point is a bit speechless!
At this time, Lin Feng and Ellison drove to the gate of the California Supreme Court. As soon as they got off the bus, they were blocked by a group of reporters.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of today's court hearing? Are you confident?"
"Mr. Lin, may I ask if your company's 'Baidu Earth' really plagiarizes 'Google's 'Google' Earth?"
...
Lin Feng was bombarded with questions one after another. Looking at the microphones and hundreds of reporters, Lin Feng slightly pursed his lips. It seemed that the trial today was really lively. Not only were there so many reporters, but also himself
When the reporters were accused by the US government during the "9.11" incident, the journalists were evenly divided, which really surprised Lin Feng.
In fact, this is normal. "9.11" made the United States extremely sad, but most discerning people knew that Lin Feng could not be the "9.11" attacker. The US government was more interested in finding a scapegoat. But this time...
Different, Lin Feng is now the richest man in the world, and "Google" is the representative of the new "American Dream". The collision between these two powers is enough to make all Americans curious. Especially what is different from "9.11"
, it is easier for reporters to show their full play in this incident. After all, no matter how you write about a disaster, it will rub salt into the wound, and there is too much to write about this kind of commercial conflict.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the number of reporters in both trials was the same.
With the help of Li Rui and others, Lin Feng and Ellison fought their way through the crowd of reporters and walked into the isolation circle surrounded by many American police. With so many business giants present today, the California police naturally wanted to
We are on high alert. If these people encounter any terrorist attack, it will have a very heavy blow to the entire U.S. economy and even the world economy. This will definitely be more painful than "9.11".
Lin Feng walked up to the high platform and looked at the many reporters below. After looking at the hundreds of American police officers and the helicopters hovering in the sky, Lin Feng thought for a while and made a silencing gesture to the many reporters under the stage.
Many reporters looked at each other and became quiet. Since Lin Feng had something to say, they didn't need to be so mumbling anymore. What they wanted was news and explosive information, and Lin Feng usually loved breaking explosive information.
"Dear American journalist friends, we have always gotten along very harmoniously in the past!" Lin Feng said loudly.
Many reporters in the audience looked at each other in shock after hearing this. Their relationship with Lin Feng was not a harmonious one. You must know that when Lin Feng and Avril Lavigne beat up a reporter from the "Washington Times" at the gate of the "Washington Times", they beat all American reporters.
Face. Both sides are almost equal enemies. As a result, Lin Feng actually said that the relationship between the two sides has been quite harmonious in the past, which really made many American reporters in the audience dumbfounded.
But if you say harmonious, then let's be harmonious! As long as there is explosive information! - After thinking about it, many American reporters did not say anything. Anyway, for them, what they want is explosive information. The editor-in-chief also values explosive information, not
They will look at who the person who provides the hard information is and what they have done. Even if Lin Feng is a rapist and plunderer, it doesn't matter. As long as he can provide hard information, he is still their "god"!
So from a certain perspective, journalists are indeed a rather unprincipled profession.
"Dear journalist friends, first of all, I want to make it clear that this trial is absolutely unreasonable by 'Google', and I firmly believe that the laws of the United States are fair and will definitely give me justice!" Lin Feng waved his hand and said
Ellison entered the courthouse together.
"Lin, what are you doing like this? I feel like you have ulterior motives!" Ellison glanced at Lin Feng with a thoughtful look on his face.
Chapter completed!
